    I have always wondered what an unnatural heavyweight is. Ive also looked for fights where a cruiser coming up was beat because of their size differences. Sure cruisers have lost... but when has it been because of a disparity in size? When Tyson beat Spinks they weighed pretty similar, when Foster lost to Frazier, Frazier was better, but was he bigger?

    Then we have unnatural heavyweights like Toney who were more than competitive against big heavyweights, as a blow up middle weight. And when did Holly magically one day become a natural heavyweight?

    Uysk has a smaller frame than Joshua, and will always be someone with a medium bone frame. Lets see if it actually matters this fight...

      This fight ends in brutal fashion by the 9th. AJ loses this if he's not focused.

        Usyk hasn't impressed in any of his heavyweight fights.
        Good call mate

          I'm towards the top of the table in the Pick 'Em game but cant get 'em all correct.

          Who knew that Chisora would have better moments against Usyk than Joshua did?

            Chisora had a different formula. Chisora had 38 pounds on Usyk, Joshua only had 18. Chisora applied relentless pressure, something he's gotten better at as he's aged. I've wondered if his increased stamina has come from PED use. He also has a much better chin than Joshua.

            Maybe Joshua comes in heavier and tries to pressure Usyk next time? He'll need the stamina to do it and his chin will need to hold up. Two tall tasks, but he has much heavier hands than Chisora so maybe that's his path.

                Of course usyk had chance. To suggest otherwise is overating Josh and underestimating usyk.
                But reality is if you acknowledged usyk had a chance it's just giving usyk respect he deserves rather than under ating josh. Before fight i said I wouldn't be least surprised if usyk wins so that is just about a correct call
